This morning, the scale read 199.5. I haven't been under 200 in about ten years and I'm really happy with my slow but steady progress.

Some of the NSVs I have been enjoying are making my way through the C25K training, after never getting past week 1 last summer. I can also now go to the mall and walk into any store (that carries 18s on the bottom and 16s on the top) and buy clothes.

I feel great and thank you everyone so much for your support and just posting so I could read here and stay focused.

I'm training for Take the Lake 5K in Wakefield, MA in July, and I'm walking a 10K in June for AIDS Walk Boston. I'm really excited about both of them. AIDS Walk Boston has a 5K but they really don't want people who can't run the whole way and I'm not willing to make any promises on that yet.
